CargoLogicHolding intends to order 29 Boeing 777
Freighters, valued at $9.8 billion according to list prices.
The 747-8
freighter has 16 percent more revenue cargo volume compared to its predecessor.
The B777F aircraft is one of the most modern, technologically advanced
freighters available and has the lowest fuel burn of any comparable sized aircraft.
Meanwhile, the two World Airways MD-11
freighters are set to help Etihad Airways maintain the cargo capacity it requires, Roy Kinnear, senior vice president of Etihad Crystal Cargo, said in a statement.
"With its proven track record, long-range capabilities and excellent operating efficiencies, the 777
freighter will allow us to economically deliver cargo further than ever before.
"Guggenheim Aviation Partners is making a significant investment in the acquisition of medium-range and long-haul
freighters as we believe this is a market that is currently underserved and is expected to benefit from near-term industry growth," MD Paul Newrick said.
The converted 767-300ER
freighter will have almost the same capacity as the production model in terms of payload, range and maximum takeoff weight.
* Demand for regional express services in fast-developing economies will boost the standard-body share of the
freighter fleet from 37 per cent today to 39 per cent.
The 767
Freighter, based on the 767-300ER (extended range) passenger jet, can carry approximately 58 tons (52.7 tonnes) of revenue cargo with intercontinental range, making it a flexible platform for serving long-haul, regional or feeder markets.

freighter services to four new destinations in Europe and the Middle East.
